I am curious about this application. For one thing, the dates don't work. He moved to Ky in 1855 but his wife was a widow in 1853? I did find on another site that Haley moved to Kentucky in 1822 but that does not solve all the date problems. Another question. Who is this William Moody? To be a fellow soldier, he would have to be extremely old in 1848. No one that old shows up on area census reocrds. Does anyone have a copy of this record and could clarify any of this? I have a William Moody born in 1797 whose father, Edmond Moody, could have been the "fellow soldier". William still lived in the area at this time but Edmund had moved from the area and died in Illinois by 1838. Is it likely that William Moody could have testified for his father? I would very much like to see a transcription or photocopy of this record. Thanks, Joyce Page Collins
